Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is having a better day today than I have had in the last week. I got some sleep last night so I think that helped out some. Hoping to get another good night sleep tonight as well. This morning Mom was up early & made a nice breakfast for Mark & I. I did the dishes & then I went right in & got ready. After that we took the pups for a walk. It was much nicer today than what I thought it would be so that was a really nice surprise. Now Mom is writing to you & later I will be doing a Christmas arrangement for us for part of our decorations here, making a nice dinner & watching football. The Cowboys are playing at 4:30 against the Falcons. Should be a tight close game but you know Mom I am hoping for the Cowboys to win! Tonight will be an early night to bed so that starting first thing tomorrow morning I can study all day & Mark will be at work. 
 Mom spoke to Meme just a bit ago. She was busy cooking one of her famous pot roasts. Remember those? Mom sure does. She is such an amazing cook. Nana was too & that is where Mom got the love of cooking & baking. As a little girl I would sit & watch them both bake. They would tell me what they were doing so that I could follow along & as I got older I learned it. The memories that Mom has will always stay in her mind & in her heart. I miss Nana very much. Today would have been Pepe's Birthday. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I miss him very much as well. Please give him a big hug & kiss from Mom & tell him I love him with all my heart. Hope you all get the chance to celebrate what would have been his special day. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom will be calling Grandpa later on to see how he is doing. Hope he is feeling a little bit better. Please continue to watch over him & the rest of us. It means a lot to Mom for you to do this. Thank you. Sometime this week I will try to get in touch with Aunt Beck as well. Mom will check in to see how she is doing. I will fill you in as I talk to everyone. Today is also Auntie Kristina's Birthday. Hope you can go by & let her know that you are with her. Mom knows she would really like that. That is all I have for you today for updates. More to follow during the week. Here are a couple prayers for the day:
 God heard your prayers. Keep praying & be patient. Don't stop praying, Your answer is coming. Amen.
 Dear God, Please protect my heart, show me anything I need to see & remove anyone from my life who doesn't belong there. Amen.
 Just as you opened your eyes this morning, God is opening doors for you. Expect amazing miracles. Amen.
 Here is a saying for the day as well: At the end of the day what really matters is that your loved ones are well, you've done your best & that you are thankful for all you have.
 It is already after 1 pm & Mom has a bunch of stuff to do before I need to be prepping for dinner tonight. Mom is hoping that your evening will be filled with everything you need to do & would like to do. Have fun while Mom sleeps tonight & come visit me in my dreams. Mom would love that. I miss you so much & I love you more than words can say. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Always remember that, Tyler. Mom will whisper to you later this evening as well. Be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile right back to you. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you so until then.... good night & sweet dreams my sweet shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
